One fatal flaw to bouncing Cheney is that Lieberman was not the plaintiff. He was the guy with a real interest in the matter. When the guy with a real interest in the matter is absent, that tends to color things for judges.

As in case closed.

BTW - Ronnie Earle dumped that case you said was a slam dunk against DeLay. Now we get to see if DeLay loases on the underlying cause of action, i.e., doesn't "beat the rap" for want of finding conspiracy.

You mean the count that was based on a law not in effect when the action was committed? That one? I didn't know Earle has dumped it, but I didn't know that little faclet at the time either.
